"Thank you for the presentations you gave, they were really interesting and gave the students a fantastic insight into how to set up a new business, especially starting out with little financial backing! We've had a lot of positive feedback from students, particularly as you are a young entrepreneur. If we have any future events which we think you might be interested in, I'll be in touch." Kirsty Murray, CIPs Marketing and Communications Officer at Newham College (London)

"Feedback from all the students today has been excellent using phrases like 'really useful' 'amazing' 'brilliant', 'what they tell you is right', one student told me he was now going home to revise!" Lee Jackson, Deputy Head, The Radclyffe School, Oldham

"From the minute Lee started to speak to students in Year 10 they were 100% attentive. An excellent mix of humour, fun and serious guidelines for their future got them interested, listening and actively participating. A number of days later I asked them to list the key points he made and many could still do so! All the staff who were present also commented on the quality and professionalism of Lee's presentation." Jo Smith, Head of Year 10, Allerton High School Leeds
